Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park has a modern nursery which is spacious and bright and has 5 rooms (one for each age group).

The nursery is big on happy children, they have a growing area for food (and eating it) and have regular visits to local care homes. They are also big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained.

They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world. Their ParentZone app keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!

They hold the silver award in the prestigious Green Flag Eco-schools programme which sees children lead the way in making little changes that have big environmental differences.

The nursery has its own garden area that allows the children to play outside all year round. One section of the garden has been designed as a beach, giving the children the freedom to explore and experiment with texture and volume.

We are super happy with this nursery. The staff have all been amazing. They are friendly and welcoming and couldn't be more accommodating to us and our child. They have settled our child in perfectly to nursery and they do such a variety of activities throughout the day. We are able to see how shes
getting on through the app which is so reassuring and she always looks like shes having great fun!

We have used this nursery since 2017 for both our daughter & son who s still present. It has such a warm, inviting atmosphere & i know that is down to all the fantastic & dedicated staff but also the incredibly helpful, kind & professional manager Kelly plus her colleage Amy. I recommend this nursery
to anyone looking for childcare you can trust.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. All the staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and always go the extra mile to support the children and families. There's a fantastic variety of activities every day, keeping the children engaged, learning, and having fun. The on-site cooked meals are excellent,
and it's clear the children really enjoy them. The garden is always full of laughter and happy faces, which says it all! We couldn't recommend this nursery more highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had 2 children at the nursery for the past 3 years now. They're always happy to go and always happy when we pick them up. What more could you want?
The nursery management team are very good at dealing with any issues or questions you may have.
I recently learnt a nearby nursery charge for early
bird sessions which I was surprised about, you'll be pleased to know Madley Park co-op do not charge for early bird.
It seems like the management look after the staff well e.g. employee of the month awards and birthday celebrations.

Our two children have been attending Little Pioneers on Madley since January and we have been so happy with their experience there. The staff are so warm and friendly, you can tell the kids are loved and well cared for and learning something new every day. The communication has been very good and is
always improving, the management are very switched on and we would highly recommend the nursery to anyone considering sending their child there. Overall, a really positive experience for us.

Our toddler has been at Madley Park for 2.5 years now and moved up to the Pre-School room this month. The support and encouragement provided by the previous room and the Pre-School team has been excellent in helping the transition and building confidence. We've been so impressed with the care in all
of the rooms since joining, as well as the communications and management of the nursery (and not forgetting the great work by the kitchen too!) - thanks, Team Madley!

My son loves this nursery and since joining when he was 1 and now is 3 he has grown leaps and bounds.
All staff are very friendly and all work together so when children go up a class they are already familiar with that key person.
We get updates each week and also a monthly review that tells you what
your child's next steps are and what we can do at home.
Great for 1st time parents any questions you have they are always there to help you can just drop an email or come in for a chat.

My daughter has been with Madley Park since she was 1 years old and she has just finished today to start primary school next week. I cannot begin to explain just how amazing Madley has been for my daughter. I have always felt that my daughter was safe and surrounded by passionate, nurturing and fun
members of staff. She has gone through all the rooms apart from the youngest baby room and all have been great. Every staff member treated my daughter as an individual and got to know her quirks. The food was always varied and great for each age. Great outside area in a quiet residential area. Play areas inside were inclusive for all and really interesting. Management were also great, always there to answer questions and to great you.
Our son will be joining in November.

Our child has loved coming to nursery and pre-school here over the last two years. We moved to the area and the staff were so good at settling him in and also putting us in touch with ours child's friend's parents to help us build a network in Witney. The staff have always been thoughtful, diligent
and hard working. We are so grateful for the care and attention our child has received and he is now well prepared to start school. We are going to really miss seeing all the staff at drop off and pick up.

My little boy has been at Madley park nursery since he was a baby, I can honestly say hands down I find this the best nursery I've ever been to, the staff are so helpful and attentive and have really helped him become the little boy he is! I wouldn't have it any other way and now my little girl goes
there to! I wouldn't highly recommend they care for every child and parent! The nursery itself is very clean and modern and they have an amazing variety of foods for them to eat!

The fact my son runs into his room to cuddle the staff when he arrives at Madley Park Nursery is testimony to how they make him feel and how much fun he has.


The staff are extremely caring and attentive to the children, involving them in creative and messy activities.


It's always lovely to see

the children enjoying the outdoor space too. My son in particular loves climbing the mound and sliding down the slide.


The fantastic management of the nursery is also shown through how calm the setting is, how happy the staff are and how parents are communicated with.


I honestly couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

I must admit I was very unsure when dropping off my 11 month old to attend full time nursery. However she has been thriving, she's now almost 2 and loves going in!
She's had so much fun with messy play (which really does get very messy! Lots of outfits required!) and the playing in the garden.
The
ladies in each room are all so friendly, welcoming and kind, and honestly brilliant with the children. The office team are so helpful as-well, always so quick to answer any questions.
Another huge plus is the variety of food they have to offer for the children, all healthy options! Can't recommend enough!

My daughter has been going here part time for over a year now and I must say the care here is superb. The staff work so hard to ensure your child gets what they need and that they are happy. There are always so many fun and education activities done throughout the day and the garden area is lovely.
The staff are also very attentive and my daughter is always happy and relaxed at drop off. I never thought I would be able to feel so comfortable when leaving others to care for my special girl. They do a great job and I would recommend them highly.

Both my children go to this nursery and I couldn't be happier. Despite only going 1 day a week they have settled in really well. They both talk so fondly about all the other children and staff. All the staff are so amazing. They are all kind, approachable and friendly and really take such an interest

The Co-op Childcare Madley Park is like no others: beyond taking care of your child, these amazing ladies are running activities that boost your child's development and allow them to grow in sociability and awareness of the world they live in. Everything is close to nature and all materials used are
eco-friendly. I was even more surprised and amazed to learn that they make their own play dough from scratch! I cannot recommend enough this amazing nursery that ticks all the boxes.

The room staff are wonderful! They truly do have a passion for children and a vested interest in your child. I do feel sometimes the staff are not always 100% in control of the children during busy times and possibly not always sufficient hands on deck to support - this isn't the fault of the room staff
at all though! The rooms are well equipped with learning and development materials and my son's key person has been great with his development areas and getting him ready for big school. The meals are healthy and I feel great care is taken to ensure balanced meals and snacks are provided. My child loves going to nursery and is building lifelong friends, I am sure. The nursery is really flexible with offering additional sessions which you can book on top of your standard sessions if you need additional child-care temporarily. It's always smiles when saying goodbye to the management team - they're very friendly and very eager to support if there are any concerns with your child.

Both my grandson and granddaughter attend Co-Op Childcare Madley Park and they absolutely love being there and I honestly know that it is a brilliant nursery for my grandchildren and feel very fortunate that they have places there. I have seen many pictures of them from my daughter and I know they are

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.944 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.944
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
